The next day Aileen made her way to the workplace after dropping her son at the kindergarten. She came a little earlier so that she could catch up with her work from yesterday. She doesn't like having workloads and so she started working the moment she arrived, buried with lots of emails to go through and reply to, she received a text. When she sent a text to Alan last night she didn't expect any response from him and that is why she went ahead and sent it but now that he actually replied she was nervous of opening it, since they met the man had nothing but a rude attitude towards her. She looked at her phone for a while and finally opened it some moments later.Boss (I would've done that to anybody else so stop overthinking) "Huh! Who said I was?" She scoffed, blaming herself for actually reading the damn text to start with. Why the hell did she pay her gratitude to that worthless being when there were many red flags stopping her? She knew this would've happened but still it made he
Aileen's POV I was the one who made the decision to break up with him and leave him for what he has done to me but then today, I just proved to myself that I haven't moved on at all, he was still able to move my emotions. I tell myself that I've moved on and I don't need him anymore, he was a cheater and I deserved more than him, I was way too worthy and all but turns out all of those thoughts were delusional, I haven't moved on and I have not gotten over him.I thought I was strong and my heart was hard as a rock but after seeing him with Tiffany today showed how much weak I was. I hate it that I couldn't even hide my emotions before him. I felt pathetic showing my ex that I'm still in love with him! Yes! I freaking am and that is the only reason I get to explain why I was hurt. It was all so crazy and annoying and I felt like burying myself hundreds feet under for the shame, he must be very happy to see my stupid reaction, he must be thinking that I still love him and want to have
She left at work that day fully stressed, she can't even tell what Alan did back there. He has a girlfriend and they looked head over heels so why? His act only proved to her that she was right in the past and it was safe to say that he is still a cheater! He cheated on her with Celine in the past and today he did the same to Tiffany, she felt disgusted by his behavior. She didn't head straight home and decided to stop by at the hospital first. She hasn't been here for days, she was just so engrossed in her new work that she didn't pay him a visit. He was still in a coma and undergoing some tests, heart failure could be very scary, she could see how it drained her father. He looked very old compared to his age now and all because he was sick. Sigh….she took a towel and started to rub her father's hands, face and then to his legs, she suddenly began to sob, leaning down on his chest, "Daddy, please hurry and wake up, I….I need you so much, I'm tired of everything" she sobbed telling
Alan's POV We left the restaurant after having our dinner and a little cake for my birthday. On our way to my house, my head was spinning of what to came up with so that she won't bring up sex tonight. I know she must be prepared herself for tonight but I wasn't interested. There was no meaning in doing it if she wasn't even able to make my little monster stand, there was no need to do it if all she will get from me is utter disappointment. Since Aileen left me, I'm more like a lost soul, the office was going well but my personal life wasn't. My love life wasn't good at all. It was such an embarrassment that I couldn't get satisfied with any woman when I'm on bed. I've tried changing women like a mad man, consulted many physicians about the matter hoping that I'll get a cure but it never worked. I'm more like a useless tool on bed, it was hard to understand what was happening to me.The doctors said I have a disorder called low libido, it's when one lose an interest in having sex, h
The next day Alan left for work early, leaving Tiffany asleep, he didn't want to meet with her and began a new fight right in the morning. Aileen wasn't around yet so he went straight to his office and carried on with his work, he just canceled a big project and missed a billions worth contract. He needed to work his ass off so that he could return that big sum. His family had called him asking how the accident occurred, it reached their ears that he had beaten up Mr Sky and no sooner the news would spread like a wildfire. It's funny that people know that he beat up the man but nobody was aware of why he did it. He somehow lied to them and told them that he had annoyed him, he didn't disclose about Aileen, they all know her and he didn't want them to have anything to do with her, like him. Aileen came two hours later, she checked out the schedule, settled some things before heading to her boss's office. "Good morning sir" she said and placed down a cup of coffee for him. He lifted hi
Aileen got from work early today so as to attend to her son's school, there was a parents meeting today and she received a notice from her son yesterday. She made sure all of her works for the day were settled before stepping out of the office so that her boss wouldn't be calling her and bother her. One thing that she didn't want to play with was her son's life, his education has to be on a straight line, her son was a genius but was too much into games and it's all his father's fault, she needs to put a lot of effort to avade his mind from games and making it focus on his studies. She met with several parents who were also her fellow colleagues from Capital A gaming company, they were surprised to see her but none of them asked about her son or her son's father, something that made her sigh in relief. They were welcomed to a certain hall, the little ones were on a sport class at the playing ground at the moment. The management of the school decided to pick this hour for the meeting
Alan's POV The shop that Aileen has left me with after stepping out of my office was unexplainable, it's like I was carried by a plane and just just reached higher to the sky….I was dropped down and out of the plane, landing down at insanely high speed. I couldn't believe that for the past six years I've been suffering and my cure turned out to be her. Tiffany would go insane if she finds out about this. I has a cold shower to clear the sexual tensions of my body but God was determined to test me. She came back again. I saw the surprise on her face, probably seeing me in a new suit but I prayed for her not to raise a question because I didn't know where to start answering it. Just when she reached my table I couldn't sit right and got up, I had to distract myself and especially my stupid mind. She was taking control of all of my senses with just her presence inside my office, what if she does something? Just in what condition would I be then?. She saw me going around the office like
The two remaining days passed like a wind and then there was only a day left until the vacation trip arrives, which would be this weekend. Aileen had the job of informing every single employee who got the chance to attend the vacation trip with their boss, she went up and down to every department until she settled down her work successfully. She dragged herself back to her desk feeling a little dizzy from the turns she took, she opened a bottle of water beside her and gulped it down. Using her handkerchief she wiped the sweat that formed on her forehead. "Damn it!" She mumbled, trying to calm down, but there was no calming down at all as long as her boss was still alive. She suddenly received a call, she lazily placed it to her ear "Yes sir? Do you need anything?" She shut her eyes waiting for he was about to say "You, I need you to my office now!" He ordered, she frowned deeply but she replied ever so sweetly to him. "Yes sir, right away" she placed down the phone and headed to the o
That day, the two went to pick up the boy only to find out that he was already picked up by his aunt. Shocked, they started to make a few calls only to find out that it was no other but Rue. She picked the boy and took her to Aileen’s house already, left with no choice Alan gave her a ride there. They found her very engrossed in a conversation with Sharon that it left them wondering what they were talking about by the convenient store. Alan stopped the car and made a honk to call for them. Not too shocked they both got in his car, heading to the house. The little boy was happy to see his parents again. “I want you to inform me next time if you are planning to take my son anywhere, Rue. People are messy out there, you can't keep us worried all the time” complained Alan after seeing off the family. “Shut it already, he is my nephew. Stop overreacting, dad!” she brushed him off. “I fucking mean it Rue. And what the hell were you talking to Sharon about? You know that I don't trust you, d
“Will you calm down first, little brother?. It wasn't me who made this decision, it was our dear father and mother, you should lash out at them and not me, do you get it?” siad Rue, she wasn't going to tell him what the whole family was up to, never. He should just sit back and let them take care of his future now because he seemed too confused to even date someone like Tiffany. “Not even you Rue, please! He is my son, don't you understand? Do you people know how much danger you have gotten my son and his mother into? Do you know how many enemies I've made out there?” He was very angry that he wasn't informed about the matter that concerned his own son's life. He should've been informed about it, he would've made preparations about it. There was media to deal with, there were the board members to inform and secure the formalities about their relationship to them and there is a damn society who are always ready to pick and judge things even without knowing anything about it. With the
“Here, he sent me this text this evening. Read it” he lost the phone to her parents and then they passed it over to Neil and Kylie. “Oh my god, that poor boy,” said their mother. “Right. How could I respond when my six years old nephew asks me such a question? I was speechless and didn't even know how to explain things to that smart little guy. Thus why this meeting is important” explained Rue.“He literally asked why his parents aren't living together like the rest of the children at school. He probably talked to classmates about their families and was very disturbed to realize that his parents are the only ones who aren't living together. This isn't good for his poor little mind” she added. “He is just a young boy who deserves more than to be raised by both of them.” she promised to get to the bottom of this, it really disturbed her when the boy told her about it.“So what do you suggest we do?” Asked Neil. “There is only one way, we have to get them back together so that they can
Leelan was happy to have his daddy over, they played a little before taking him to sleep, the two of them did. When he came out he spotted Sharon with two cups of coffee “Here, it's been a while, have a seat” she said. Aileen was still tucking her son well and making sure he didn't wake up because he couldn't feel her warmth. Alan sat down, gripping the cup, not even knowing how to look at her. “How is everything? I am sorry for your loss” He asked. “Thank you, things are going well. How is your family doing?” Sharon noticed how uncomfortable the man was. “They are doing well, they send their condolences actually” he answered. Sharon got up “Come here” she said. Alan was dumbfounded but he too stood up. Sharon hugged him, “I am sorry for everything that has happened to you my dear,” awestruck by what just happened, the man stood still, letting the woman embrace him. His eyebrows knitted together, it took all in him not to shatter right there and cry like a baby. He never knew that th
Aileen glared at him, she then scoffed “Why do you care who I talk to?” She asked. “I want to know,” he demanded. “And who the hell are you to say that? Wait a minute, are you jealous?” She was surprised, getting angry little by little at their current conversation. “I asked who were you texting, Aileen?” He somehow wanted to know at all cost, even if it was not his place to know. “Wow! This is very funny now.” Aileen shook her head with laughter. “I don't freaking ask a thing about you and your Tiffany! Why are you so curious about my life? What happened to not interfere with our personal lives?” she paused watching him stare at her. “Does she even know that you have a son with me?” She asked the most important question, it was bugging her this whole time. “That's between me and Tiffany” he responded, fuming. “Right! Then this conversation is fucking over!” She just doesn't understand him at all. What was wrong with this man?.“It is not until I say so” he uttered and then snatched t
The next morning, they took the boy to school as usual before heading to the office. The car parked at the parking lot, where other employees were also parking their cars. “Don't you think coming to work together like this might cause unnecessary drama for both of us? I should've taken a taxi or an Uber.” she aired her worries. People have already begun to look at her differently since the day she was told to give her opinions on the meeting last time. It was an important project, she had to be an important person to their boss to give her opinions like that and they were actually executed. People have started to think of it that way, forgetting that she was also an employee who had the right to do so just like them. What are these people going to say the moment they find out that the two of them actually had a thing in the past and the fruit of it is their little boy?. Her head was aching at that thought. “Oh, should I take you back then so you can call your Uber?” He teased, placin
In the evening they had to leave and head back to Alan's house. They talked about it and thought of spending two nights at his house every week, starting with this week. Aileen had no argument for this since she would be going along with her son or else she would be going crazy with uneasiness of being far from her son, even for two nights. Leelan received a lot of gifts when she left his grandparent's house, Aileen wondered when did they get the time to prepare for everything. But then she answered herself, it was a rich people thing to get things done with only a snap, she witnessed a lot already from working with Alan for over half a year now. What gave her a headache was where were they going to keep all of those gifts at. Because those things were definitely not going to her house, uh uh it's not happening ….her house would be flooding with toys at this rate.When they arrived at his house, all the boy was talking about was their visit to his grandparents as if they weren't toget
“You did a great job raising him Aileen, he is so respectful and composed for his age” complimented the old man. “Thank you for not giving him up and keep him until today, you were brave” he added. Aileen blinked her tears, responding with her forced smile. She felt like crying aloud, brave wasn't something she expected to hear from him at all. “Yes, thank you very much. It must have been hard for you” Claimed the old woman, although her face was saying something else. Was she angry at me? Because she wasn't even trying to hide it whenever she glances her way. God please! She thought. “Thank you too” she replied, trying as hard as she could to keep her composure. She really doesn't need to be thanked for raising her own son for all these years, because she was going to do it all over again if she was asked to. That accident might have been her biggest failure but she doesn't regret having Leelan, he was the reason why she kept living. He practically saved her life and gave her a purp
Aileen's POV On the way, I was quietly looking outside the window while the father and son were playing. I can't lie, I was so scared to face his family after what happened between us. I ….I just can't get past the fact that they all tried to pursue me back then and all i remember doing was casting them aside. They all tried but I treated them badly that day, and to think that it wasn't even his fault to begin with made it even more hard for me. That was the biggest error I have ever made in my life, my life took a big turn since that accident and it was all for some lies, deceit!. “God, please forgive me” I sighed, rubbing my chest. Alan must have noticed my troubled face, he held my shoulder “Nervous?” He asked. I let out rashly “No! Why would I be?” He pulled back his hand, “Should I give you a mirror then?” My eyes widened. “Is it that obvious?” I thought I was good at hiding emotions until this man proved me wrong. “Very, it's all over your face. But there is nothing to worry
